Wenger Certain His Future Is Secure

Arsenal’s recent dip in form has brought up speculations that his future is at stake, but he says Arsenal’s season is at stake and not his future.

Arsenal are now 12 points off the summit, after back-to-back losses to Watford and Chelsea.

The 3-1 loss at the Stamford Bridge spurred talks of the manager getting sacked, with a fan flying a banner that read “Enough Is Enough, Time To Go”.

Asked about that incident ahead of this weekend’s meeting with relegation-threatened Hull City, Wenger told a media conference: ” I believe what is important is we focus on the next game and do not give too much importance on one fan.

“It’s not me at stake, it’s the season of Arsenal that is at stake.

“In a football club it’s important you have different opinions. What matters is not the opinions of people, what matters is the next result and how we respond to different situations.

“We fight with teams who have invested not much more than we have and this is a period where we have to stick together, focus and respond.

“It’s been a difficult week. We are here to win football games and when we don’t win football games we are very disappointed. It [the Hull match] is a good test at an important moment of the season and it’s a good opportunity to show what we are made of.

“We have a big fight in the Premiership, a big fight in the Champions League, we have still the FA Cup as well. We want to do well in all three competitions. That is why it is important we focus, respond and get our fans behind the team.

“This is a very sensitive part of the season and we have to respond to disappointment together.”
